EDSTART EXTEND

Sacred Heart College Geelong has recently partnered with Edstart, a leading education payment provider, to offer more flexible fee payment options to our families.

Edstart helps make school fee management easy by providing payment plans to pay for your child’s education over a timeframe that suits your family budget. School fees can be spread evenly over the school year in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments, or extended over a longer period to reduce repayments. You can apply at any time of the year and complete an application here by visiting www.edstart.com.au/shcgeelong.

What are the benefits for families?

• Tailored payment plans for each family that can cover their current and future fees
• Ability to bundle other education costs including laptops and technology items, textbooks and stationery, private tutoring, trips and excursions, and extracurricular activities
• For parents with children in secondary school, the option to reduce annual payments by spreading the cost over a longer period, up to five years after their youngest child finishes Year 12
• Choose the payment frequency and their preferred day for payments to be made
• Able to adjust their payment plan at any time if there are changes to their situation with no fees or charges
• More affordable and sustainable option than credit cards or mortgage redraw

Upon the acceptance of your application to Edstart, you will have the ability to:

• Pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly by selecting the schedule that works best for you
• Choose your preferred day for when payments are made
• Spread your school fee repayments up to 5 years after your children finish school
• Adjust your payments at any time

Please note that in providing information about Edstart, Sacred Heart College does not provide any recommendations, brokering or advice services. The College does not receive referral fees, commissions or other remuneration from Edstart.

Equity Scholarship Program

As the largest Catholic girls’ school in Geelong, we continue to uphold the vision and guiding principles of our foundress, Catherine McAuley. Catherine believed in the education of women. She appreciated the unique contribution they were capable of making on behalf of society and she wanted to empower them ­– in whatever sphere they found themselves ­– to affect a shift towards a more just society.

Celebrating 160+ years of Mercy education, Sacred Heart College Geelong still seeks to provide greater learning opportunities for those in need through our Equity Scholarship Program.

For further details regarding the College’s scholarship programs, please contact Ebony Courtney, College Admissions Officer via email admissions@shcgeelong.catholic.edu.au

To ensure our school promotes an inclusive curriculum that reflects the cultural, linguistic and religious diversity of Greater Geelong, we have developed a new Inclusion and Diversity Scholarship program.

Inclusion and Diversity Scholarship Program

For refugee families, experiencing a new country and culture and understanding the education system can be very challenging. In fact, it is often the primary barrier to student learning.

The College’s Inclusion and Diversity Scholarship program welcomes, enables and supports refugee children to learn in a nurturing environment. Opportunities are now available for refugees to apply for a fully-funded scholarship that will allow them to explore cultures and beliefs that may be different from their own.

The scholarship provides:

• Personalised transition programs
• Pastoral support groups for students and their families
• A new arrivals’ program that offers intensive English as an Additional Language (EAL)
• Social/emotional learning programs, counselling, mentoring and ‘buddy’ supports as well as refugee family engagement.
